Institute of Preventive and Clinical Medicine, Commenius University Medical School, Limbová 14, 833 01, Bratislava, Slovakia.
Background/aims: Modification by advanced glycation renders macromolecules susceptible to elimination in the liver via scavenger receptors. Thus, in advanced liver disease an accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in circulation might occur, due to the reduction of effective liver mass.
Methods: Plasma AGE levels (fluorescent AGEs-AGE-Fl and N(epsilon)-carboxymethyllysine - CML) were determined in 51 patients with liver cirrhosis (Ci) and 19 healthy controls.
